 DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Umbilical
An example of an umbilical thermoplastic hose (hereinafter called ‘hose’) is shown, generally, at 10 in FIG. 1. The hose can have a coupling 16 attached to both ends. The hose comprises a thermoplastic polymeric inner liner 11 and a thermoplastic polymeric outer cover 12. Located between the liner and cover are two fibrous reinforcement layers, a first fibrous layer 13 and a second fibrous layer 14. ‘Hydraulic’ embodiments of the hose must resist internal hydrostatic pressure only, and liner 11 is the innermost layer. ‘HCR’ (High Collapse Resistance) embodiments of a hose must withstand both internal and external hydrostatic pressure, and contain an interlocking stainless steel carcass, not shown, as the innermost component. The present invention pertains to fibrous reinforcing layers and applies to both ‘hydraulic’ and ‘HCR’ hoses.
FIG. 2 shows at 20 another embodiment of a hose comprising an intermediate fibrous reinforcement layer 15 located between the first fibrous layer 13 and the second fibrous layer 14.
Inner Liner
Suitable inner liner hose materials include aliphatic polyamide or polyvinylidenefluoride. A suitable polyamide is Nylon 11.
Outer Cover
Suitable hose outer cover materials include polyethylene, polyurethane, polyethylene, polypropylene, and aliphatic polyamide. A suitable polyamide is Nylon 12.
Reinforcement Layers
The hose comprises a plurality of fibrous reinforcement layers as is shown at 13-14 in FIG. 1 and at 13-15 in FIG. 2. Preferably, the layers are in the form of a braided fabric, a woven fabric, or a unidirectional fabric. A braided fabric is formed by plaiting several strands of fibrous yarn. The yarns are interlaced diagonally to the axial direction of the hose.
A woven fabric comprises warp and fill yarns, interlaced orthogonally to each other—the warp yarns being parallel to the fabric production direction. The woven fabric can be a plain weave, crowfoot weave, basket weave, satin weave, twill weave, unbalanced weave, or any other weave style.
All unidirectional fabric reinforcement yarns are aligned in the direction parallel to the fabric production direction. There may be a few lightweight yarns in the fill direction used to help maintain the alignment of the reinforcement yarns. When woven or unidirectional fabrics are used, the fabric width is preferably less than 25 mm, that is to say that the fabrics are considered to be narrow fabrics. The reinforcement layer yarns comprise a plurality of continuous filaments. The terms fiber and filament may be used interchangeably. By continuous, is meant that the fibers have a high length-to-diameter ratio. Typically, a bobbin of continuous filament yarn has a length of several thousand meters. A typical filament diameter is about 0.015 mm.
In some embodiments, the continuous filament yarns may be twisted or entangled. Twisting is the process of combining two or more singles yarns into a plied yarn or cord. In some embodiments, the twist level as described by a twist multiplier ranges from zero to 2.5. As used here, twist multiplier is as defined in ASTM D123-12. An entangled yarn or cord is one in which at least two single yarns are intermixed with each other without adding twist or otherwise disturbing the parallel relationship of the combined filaments. This is also known as comingling or compacting. Twisting and entangling are well known terms in the textile art.
The reinforcement layer yarns have a tenacity of at least 13 grams per dtex. In some embodiments, the yarn tenacity is at least 18 grams per dtex or even 25 grams per dtex. The yarns also have an initial modulus of at least 550 grams per dtex or even 750 grams per dtex. In some embodiments, the yarn modulus is at least 900 grams per dtex.
A requirement of one embodiment of this invention is that the hose comprises at least one first fibrous reinforcement layer and at least one second fibrous reinforcement layer, wherein, the continuous filament yarns of the at least one second fibrous reinforcement layer have a yarn modulus greater than the continuous filament yarn modulus of the at least one first fibrous reinforcement. FIG. 3 shows a hose construction comprising at least one first fibrous reinforcement layer 13 and at least one second fibrous reinforcement layer 14 located between a liner 11 and a cover 12. The yarns of the at least one first fibrous reinforcement layer 13 have a lower modulus than the yarns of the at least one second fibrous reinforcement layer 14.
FIG. 4 depicts another embodiment of this invention in which at least one intermediate fibrous reinforcement layer 15 is positioned between the at least one first fibrous reinforcement layer 13 and the at least one second fibrous reinforcement layer 14. In this construction, the continuous filament yarns of any at least one intermediate fibrous reinforcement layer have a yarn modulus greater than the continuous filament yarn modulus of the at least one first fibrous reinforcement layer and less than the yarn modulus of the continuous filament yarns of the at least one second fibrous reinforcement layer.
There may be a plurality of first fibrous reinforcement layers, but the yarn modulus of all yarns comprising the plurality of first reinforcement layers must be the same.
Similarly, there may be a plurality of second fibrous reinforcement layers, but the yarn modulus of all yarns comprising the plurality of second reinforcement layers must be the same.
In a like manner, there may be a plurality of intermediate fibrous reinforcement layers, but the yarns of any one intermediate fibrous reinforcement layer must have a yarn modulus greater than the yarn modulus of the continuous filament yarns of the at least one first fibrous reinforcement layer and less than the yarn modulus of the continuous filament yarns of the at least one second fibrous reinforcement layer.
Intermediate fibrous reinforcement layers may comprise layers having the same or different moduli. The yarns within a layer may have different moduli or all the yarns within one layer may have the same modulus but the moduli between layers may be different. If a plurality of intermediate fibrous reinforcement layers 15 comprise yarns of a different modulus, the layers must be positioned such that the yarn modulus of an at least one intermediate fibrous layer is no less than yarn modulus of any other at least one intermediate fibrous reinforcement layer positioned closer to the at least one first layer 13. As an example of this, refer to FIG. 5. Layers 11 and 12 are as previously stated. FIG. 5 shows one first reinforcement layer 13 and two second reinforcement layers 14 a and 14 b. A plurality of intermediate fibrous reinforcement layers are shown as 15 a, 15 b and 15 c. In the embodiment of FIG. 5, the yarns of the first reinforcement layer 13 have the lowest modulus of any reinforcement layer. The two layers 14 a and 14 b of the second reinforcement layer have a higher yarn modulus than the modulus of yarns in layers 15 a-15 c and 13. The yarn modulus of 14 a is the same as that of 14 b. The yarn modulus of the intermediate reinforcement layers 15 a, 15 b and 15 c may all be the same or different with the proviso previously disclosed defining the yarn modulus relationship with the yarns of layers 13 and 14. Layer 15 a has the highest yarn modulus of layers 15 a-15 c. Layer 15 b may have the same or lower yarn modulus than that of 15 a or alternatively may have the same or higher modulus than layer 15 c. In other words, the moduli (E) of layers 15 a-15 c are in the order of E15 a≧E15 b≧E15 c.
Reinforcement Fibers
Preferably, the continuous filament yarns are made of aromatic polyamide or aromatic co-polyamide. A preferred aromatic polyamide is p-aramid that is available from E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, Wilmington, Del. under the tradename Kevlar® or from Teijin Aramid, Conyers, Ga. under the tradenames Twaron® and Technora®. Some suitable fibers are listed in Table 1.

As used herein, the term para-aramid filaments means filaments made of para-aramid polymer. The term aramid means a polyamide wherein at least 85% of the amide (—CONH—) linkages are attached directly to two aromatic rings. Suitable aramid fibers are described in Man-Made Fibres—Science and Technology, Volume 2, in the section titled Fibre-Forming Aromatic Polyamides, page 297, W. Black et al., Interscience Publishers, 1968. Aramid fibers and their production are, also, disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,767,756; 4,172,938; 3,869,429; 3,869,430; 3,819,587; 3,673,143; 3,354,127; and 3,094,511.
The preferred para-aramid is poly (p-phenylene terephthalamide) which is called PPD-T. By PPD-T is meant the homopolymer resulting from mole-for-mole polymerization of p-phenylene diamine and terephthaloyl chloride and, also, copolymers resulting from incorporation of small amounts of other diamines with the p-phenylene diamine and of small amounts of other diacid chlorides with the terephthaloyl chloride. As a general rule, other diamines and other diacid chlorides can be used in amounts up to as much as about 10 mole percent of the p-phenylene diamine or the terephthaloyl chloride, or perhaps slightly higher, provided only that the other diamines and diacid chlorides have no reactive groups which interfere with the polymerization reaction. PPD-T, also, means copolymers resulting from incorporation of other aromatic diamines and other aromatic diacid chlorides such as, for example, 2, 6-naphthaloyl chloride or chloro- or dichloroterephthaloyl chloride or 3, 4′-diaminodiphenylether. In some preferred embodiments, the yarns of the fiber-resin composite consist solely of PPD-T filaments; in some preferred embodiments, the layers in the fiber-resin composite consist solely of PPD-T yarns; in other words, in some preferred embodiments all filaments in the fiber-resin composite are PPD-T filaments.
Additives can be used with the aramid and it has been found that up to as much as 10 percent or more, by weight, of other polymeric material can be blended with the aramid. Copolymers can be used having as much as 10 percent or more of other diamine substituted for the diamine of the aramid or as much as 10 percent or more of other diacid chloride substituted for the diacid chloride or the aramid.
Another suitable fiber is one based on aromatic copolyamide prepared by reaction of terephthaloyl chloride (TPA) with a 50/50 mole ratio of p-phenylene diamine (PPD) and 3, 4′-diaminodiphenyl ether (DPE). Yet another suitable fiberis that formed by polycondensation reaction of two diamines, p-phenylene diamine and 5-amino-2-(p-aminophenyl) benzimidazole with terephthalic acid or anhydrides or acid chloride derivatives of these monomers.
Examples of suitable yarn combinations are shown in Table 2.

The multilayer hose as described above can be assembled with end couplings and other fittings into an umbilical suitable for use in deep-sea and other applications.
TEST METHODS
Test Method A is similar to ISO test method 1402:2009, Edition 4, dated 30 Nov. 2009. One end of the hose to be tested is connected to a pressure transducer capable of recording 100,000 psi. In addition, that end is connected to a vent valve to evacuate air from the hose prior to internal pressurization. The other hose end is connected to a MaxPro Technologies High Pressure water pump capable of delivering up to 100,000 psi pressure. The hose is placed on a track of linear bearings to permit axial contraction and growth.
The hydrostatic pump is turned on and the vent valve left open to fill the hose with water and vent all air from the system. With the air evacuated, the vent valve is closed and the hose cycled 5 times from 1000 psi to 10,000 psi to pre-strain the hose liner and reinforcing components. After the fifth cycle, the pressure is allowed to decrease to 100 psi, at which point pressure is increased at a rate of 500-600 psi per second until the hose fails.
